    washing on low, dry inside
    [/STRIKE]small shop at mr T or may have a drive and go to Mr S as I can self scan there and check my spends, shop will be based on meal plan and budget. Getting quite addicted to only having small amounts in cupboards and fridges rather than them being rammed and then it being thrown away :eek:

    [STRIKE]
    work from home, must do lots
    [/STRIKE]book hotel for work next week, through quidco

    see if I can find my HMRC letter and give them a call - can't but am going to call anyway
    [STRIKE]Call the unhelpful builders and try not to rant, is 11 months wait for a warranty and over a dozen phonecalls unreasonable [/STRIKE]:mad: - still no sign, he says he'll chase again double :mad:

    Think thats about all, have a good day everyone :)

    I have not bought a coffee from the sandwich shop saving myself £1.30.
